Ten AM, still prime time on a Saturday morning, let's check the TV Guide and see what's up next. Actually, we didn't get the TV Guide, we got a local version that came for free with the Sunday paper. It was always there in a handy spot near the Magnavox so we could look up when our favorite shows might be coming on, or what was on the Wonderful World of Disney Sunday night. Looks like some more product placement from the fine folks at American Greetings. Does Strawberry Shortcake look like Holly Hobby to anyone other than me? Sure she's got a different name and wears fruit-themed clothing, but the little face and the big puffy hat really seem like a rip-off, or if you want to be more kind about it, an adaptation of the earlier character. Hmm, they both seem to be products of American Greetings, I think I may be on to something here. I'm going to go do some more research while you download and listen to
